Note 36 — SAPPHO TO PHAON.[1]
Reading edition
"Liked" seems a very unsuitable expression in the present day. It was a word, however, among our early writers of greater force and significance:
What I that loved, and you that liked, Shall we begin to wrangle? No, no, no; my heart is fixed, And cannot disentangle. Old Ballad.—Bowles.
